  1. Mining Salt learning objectives • Summarize the processes that act to make chemical sedimentary rocks. • Diagram how the processes link together to form mineral resources, specifically with regards to evaporite (salt) deposits. • Apply knowledge of sedimentary environment and operational processes to infer potential types and locations of mineral resources.

  2. In your own words, define the words in BLUE. Use the concepts above to make a concept map showing how the salt deposits in the Bahamas and in Utah formed.

  3. Additional questions: In what sorts of places do you think salt deposits are forming today? (What are the characteristics of places in which salt deposits can be found? The completed concept map can be used to answer this question: Is "sea salt" really any different from normal (rock) salt? What are the pros and cons of mining salt in the two locations?
